Stacey,
What a nice Christmas present! I have been away from the boards for nearly 2 months (a trip to China, of all places, and no easy access to a pc), and when I come back not only do I find tons of new stories to read, I also see we have a new writer! Good for you!
I'm liking this story so far. Maybe it's because I just got back from there, but I do have to say I don't normally associate China with coffee. You might want to consider having Clark fly to Colombia for his coffee beans. But that is really a minor point, and maybe not one others would pay much attention to.
As for the story itself, nice! Both Lois and Clark are completely in character, and their actions ring true. I'm glad you got over your nerves and posted. Very interesting story so far, and I'm looking forward to more!
